"Nobody can tell ya
There's only one song worth singing
They may try and sell ya
'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you
But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along."
- Mama Cass

"99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man fuer UFOs aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn's so wär
Dabei war'n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons"

"You want more money, of course I don't mind!
To buy nuclear textbooks for atomic crimes!
And the public gets what the public wants!
But I want nothin' what this society's got!
I’m going underground, going underground
Well the brass bands play and feet start to pound!
Going underground, going underground
Well let the boys all sing and the boys all shout for tomorrow!"
- The Jam

Me on Wikipedia

"Better stop dreaming of the quiet life -
cos it's the one we'll never know.
And quit running for that runaway bus -
cos those rosey days are few.
And - stop apologising for the things you've never done,
Cos time is short and life is cruel -
but it's up to us to change
This town called malice!"
- The Jam

FREEDOM! FOREVER!

Hi. I'm Phil. My birthday is February 24th. I've used Wikipedia for about two years. I found this site when my dad was searching on Google for events that happened in 1933; my grandfather was turning 70.

I visit this site nearly everyday and do at least a few edits while I visit (sometimes I don't log in; I therefore don't edit on these occasions). On the Wikipediholic test on 05/09/05, my result was a healthy 117.

I'm a senior at SUNY Oswego.

I love Wikipedia more than I love taffy...and I'm a guy who loves his taffy. (at this point, I have begun to chew taffy in a very creepy manner)

I mostly fixed typos, add Simpsons episode plots, Star Wars nitpicks, and often trivia to movies. Below is a timeline of my progress on Wikipedia:

• August 2003 - Discovered Wikipedia while searching for a list of events in 1933 with Google. Later used the site (searching for it through Google) for events in 1953.
• 18:08 EST, 8 August 2004 - First recorded edit as B-101.
• 18:56 EST, 30 August 2005 - First edit as JustPhil
• 09/03/05 - Created the article for Little Girl in the Big Ten, which makes the Simpsons episode list complete (until season 17 starts up).
• 09/12/05 - FINALLY figured out how to upload images.
• 3/23/06 - Received my very first Barnstar.

This user has been awarded the Userbox Barnstar Award for creating a particularly notable userbox.

• 12/26/06 - Received my second Barnstar.

		For adding pictures to not one but two of my articles, I award JustPhil the Photographer's Barnstar, From Mr.crabby

About me

"You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you."

Is there anything you would like to ask or tell me?

At first, I only went to Wikipedia and Memory-Alpha as an anonymous user. One day on Memory-Alpha, they asked me to have a user name. I was still relatively new to this and I didn't know I had to sign on. I liked the number "101", but I didn't want to be "T-101", the Terminator. My favorite Star Trek villains were the Borg, so I decided to be B(org)-101, putting it on talk pages without signing on. In August 2004, I was asked to become a user and therefore, I became B-101.

As of 6:56 PM EST 8/30/2005, I go by JustPhil. A friend of mine came up with that as my nickname and I recently thought it would be a better username.

Oh, the places I've been to

"When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go - downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know - downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown - no finer place, for sure
Downtown - everything's waiting for you."
- Petula Clark

Quotes

No one would have believed in the early years of the 21st century...that our world was being watched by intelligences greater than our own. That as men busied themselves with their various concerns...they observed and studied, the way a man with a microscope might scrutinize the creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency, man went to and fro about the globe, confident of our empire over this world. Yet...across the gulf of space...intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic...regarded our planet with envious eyes...and slowly...and surely...drew their plans...against us...

- War of the Worlds

Peace is a lie, there is only passion.

Through passion, I gain strength.

Through strength, I gain power.

Through power, I gain victory.

Through victory, my chains are broken.

The Force shall free me.

- The Sith Code

The Others are coming.

- Lost

Here are the facts. We left troops in North Korea after World War II, part of the Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1904 by President Kennedy. Tell me where I'm wrong.

Where do I start? Well, we left troops in South Korea after the Korean War. The Treaty of Versailles is what ended World War I in 1919 and Kennedy was only president from 1960 to 1963. So, uh, pretty much, everything you just said was wrong.

When you look this good, you don't have to know anything.

As well as the environment, the economy, wiretapping, torture, Katrina, military tribunals, illegal immigration, Osama’s continued freedom, Kyoto, abortion rights, the national debt, SARS, the XFL, and the death of Mr. Eko.

Why the Gunpowder Treason,

Should ever be forgot.
